! nance. At Manchester Gladstone met
with an enthusiastic reception. He also
made speech at Sheffield, in which he
said he did not doubt that the mind OF
the people was rapidly marshaling itself
in favor of contenting Ireland and re-
storing the freedom and efficiency OF
| Parliament and the honor of England,
which has been SO grievously furnished
! by past misconduct in Ireland. At
! Stockport Mr.. Gladstone said the events
| of the last few weeks in Ireland would
not have been tolerated in England. He
condemned the action of the authorities
at Mitchellstown He admitted having
used the words, Remember Mitchells-
town" The affair must and would be
remembered. The worst feature of the
MitchelIstown incident was that the
action of the authorities there had be-
come the model and pattern for the
whole of Ireland
MINNEAPoLIs. October 13.-The "Tri-
bune'' this morning prints an editorial
charging that the Presidents tour is got
up entirely for political effect, that Mrs.
Cleveland is much older than she is
generally thought, and that she joined
her husband in the present trip
merely for the purpose of furthering
his Presidential aspirations. 1t even
goes so far as to upbraid the lady OF
the White House for having married a
man old and corrupt as her husband is
known to be, and declares neither the
President nor his wife has any sympathy
with the working people. The publica
ten has caused intense disgust among
all classes, regardless of political tenden-
cies, and the other Republican papers
are loud in condemnation of the scandal
lous article. Ex-senator Blethen comes
in for the most vigorous denunciation
The excitement eliminated tonight
when A. j. Blethen, proprietor of the
Tribune" was burned in effigy by
crowd led by Mayor Ames of this city.
The exceptions taken to the editorial
were based principally on the language
used with reference to Mrs. Cleveland |
Mr.. Blethen regards the affair as joke
on Mayor Ames and the crowd, as i'm
portant business kept him away from |
the Tribune Office on Tuesday night, !
and he knew nothing whatever of the |
article until it appeared on Wednesday |
morning.
New YORK, October 13.-Edison has
perfected his photograph, which is in
tended largely to take the place of |
stenographers. The Edison Company
has a factory where the machines are
being made. The company claims that
the machine will reproduce the voice so
clearly and accurately that it cannot be
misunderstood The owner of the ma
chine merely has to talk into it as he
would into a telephone, and when he is
through his typewriter can ungrind his
remarks and materialize them on paper
The public may have chance to buy
two kinds of monographs. The Ameri-
can Graphophone Company is also pre-
parlng to get out machines to take the
place of stenographers. This COM
pany was organized in Washington
six months ago and is working under
patents of Alexander g. Bell and Sum-
ner fainter. The Edison, Company
thinks the other company's machine
may be an infringement of the Edison
photograph.

short time ago Zaniga applied to Con
gress, asking that he be voted 5000 a
